In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Can't you see it in my eyes, I'm saying
Don't you go
So many reasons you should stay here baby
Don't you go, don't you go
Can't you feel it in my fingertips
In the way I hold you when we kiss
If you wanted, we could stay like this forever
Don't you go
You can save your plans for another time
Stay here baby and be mine
Don't you know
This is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
The bed's still warm and it's still waiting
Don't you go
To watch you leave would drive me crazy
Don't you go, don't you go
It may be selfish baby but I can't help
That I want you all to myself
I wanna lay you down so we can melt together
Don't you go
You can save your plans for another time
Stay here baby and be mine
Don't you know
This is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
Let me show you how I love you
Can't believe how much I need you
Baby there ain't nothing I won't do for you
Turn around, come back to me
Close the door and drop the keys
Every part of me is begging please
Don't you go
You can save your plans for another time
Stay here baby and be mine
Don't you know
This is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
Oh, this is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
Don't you go
So many reasons you should stay here baby
Don't you go, don't you go
Can't you feel it in my fingertips
In the way I hold you when we kiss
If you wanted, we could stay like this forever
Don't you go
You can save your plans for another time
Stay here baby and be mine
Don't you know
This is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
The bed's still warm and it's still waiting
Don't you go
To watch you leave would drive me crazy
Don't you go, don't you go
It may be selfish baby but I can't help
That I want you all to myself
I wanna lay you down so we can melt together
Don't you go
You can save your plans for another time
Stay here baby and be mine
Don't you know
This is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
Let me show you how I love you
Can't believe how much I need you
Baby there ain't nothing I won't do for you
Turn around, come back to me
Close the door and drop the keys
Every part of me is begging please
Don't you go
You can save your plans for another time
Stay here baby and be mine
Don't you know
This is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go
Oh, this is the only place we need to be right now
Don't you go

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
